A recent LinkedIn article has generated some talk in various forums. Some quite negative, but discussion is always good.
One comment suggested that there be several modes; Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced or whatever. I like the idea mostly as a learning tool. There are many situations where a highly skilled person has to rely on others to do those basic shows. Or a school where one might have several skill levels around. All the power and complexity are available but you don't get lost in it for a simple job.
My preference would be some sort of feature list or outline with check boxes for each one. Discrete timing, macros, multiple cue lists, pixel mapping, effect editing or just relative effect editing, multi-consoles, maybe even tracking/cue only. I know it's heresy to suggest that some features aren't needed but sometimes more is not better.
I leave it to others sort out such a feature list.
